JOHN D. IIERCE, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR T0 MONARCH METL WEATHER STRIP COMPANY, 0F ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, A CORPORATIONpOF MISSOURI.
Application led October 16,v 1911. Serial No.1654,853.
Speciication of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 7,1913.
To all w/zom t may concern Be it known that I, JOHN D. PIERCE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of thecity of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Weather-Strips, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to weather strips for the bottoms of doors, easement windows and the like.
It lhas for its principal objects to produce a simple and eflicient device which vcan be readily applied, to produce a strip which is not easily damaged, and to attain certain other advantages which will hereinafter more fully appear.
The invention consists in the parts and in the arrangements and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing which forms part of this specification and wherein like symbols refer to like parts wherever they occur, Figure 1 is a fragmentary Vertical section through the bottom portion of the door and threshold plate, the door being equipped with a weather strip according to my invention and shown in closed position; Fig. 2 is a View showing the door in open position and the threshold plate in front edge elevation; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view partly in front elevation and Apartly in section, the door being closed; Fig.
4 is a view similar to Fig. 1, the door being -shown in end elevation; Fig. 5is a fragmentary end elevation of the door showing the supporting roller journaled in a housing; Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-'6 of.
Fig. 5; Fi'g. 7 is a fragmentary perspective view of the resilient strip which is secured to the bottom of the door; and Fig. 8`.is a fra entary perspective' view of the.' strip w-hlch is secured to the side face of the door..
As shown in the drawings, a resilient strip `1 ais secured-along one edge portion -to the bottom of the door D, as at 2f Normally,
Aithe strip 1 is sprung away from the bottom 4ofthe door when the door is opened and its free ledge 'angeforlip 4 at the bottom'off a stripv ortion 3 rests on an inturned which is' secured along its upper edge portion to the-side face of the door, as at 6.l
This strip 5 is'also preferably resilient and lies normally fiatwiseagainstthe face of the door when the *door-is oppned.'4A
' The threshold plate 7 is provided with a shoulder 8 which may obviously be formed by rabbeting the threshold plate or, preferably, by securing on said threshold plate a metal wear plate 9 whosel edge portion provides the shoulder 8 as shown.
In the closed position of the door, the inturned bottom edge portion 4 of the strip 5 bears against thls shoulder 8 and, prefer-` ably, said shoulder is located so that the strip 5 is sprung slightly away from the face of the door to insu-re such contact. As the door is moved into closed position, the free edge portion 3.of the strip 1 rides upon the top face ofthe wear plate 9,'or threshold plate 7, as the case. may be, and remains in contact therewitlowing to its resiliency.
To prevent the door from sagging and to support the bottom in proper relation to the threshold plate, a. roller 1 0 is journaled at the end away from the hinged end. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the door is provided with a circular recess 11 in its end in which' the hinged. end from sagging. By this v meansythe fstrip 1 will bear uniformly throughout its length on the upper face of the plate 9 and .the edge of the inturned portion 4 ofthe strip 5 will bear along the middle of the edge portion of the which providesjthe shoulder 8.
The strips 1 and 5 may be made to extend throughout the entire length of the door and the only portion of the strip vl which has to plate 9 be cut away is at 15 to clear the roller. This v cut away portion being only `adjacent to the edge which is secured to theI bottom of the door, no material is removed from the portion of4 the strip 1. which. contacts with the plate9. Hence, the strip is e'i'ec'tive through its entire length.
'The construct-ion is simple and inexpensive, yet effective i'n" closing the s ace at the bot-tom of thedo'or, and the'liabillty of damhage is minimized... It also obvi-ates the necessity of providing'undercut or interlocking portions on the threshold plate to coperate with the door strip.
Obviously iication without-departing from my invention. Therefore, I do-not Wish to be limited to t-he specific construction and arrangement shown.
What I claim is:
1. The combination with a door, of a re- Y silient strip secured alongone edge of the door, the free portion of said strip tending to spring normally awa-y from the door, and a strip secured to the side face of the door adjacent to the edge thereof, said second mentioned strip extending beyond the edge of the door and having an inturned portion against which the free edge of said rst mentioned strip normally rests.
2. The combination with av door and a threshold having a shoulder portion extending the length thereof, of a resilient strip secured to the bottom of the door, the free portion of 'said strip being ada ted to bear against the adjacent top face o the thresholdyand a strip secured to the side face of the door and projecting beyond the bottom thereof and having an inturned portion in coperative relation to the free edge portion of said resilient strip on the bottom of the door and 'adapted to support the same when the door is'opened and being also adapted to bear edgewise against the shoulder on the threshold when the door is closed.,
3. The combination with ,a door and threshold, of a metal plate secured on the threshold beneath the bottom of the door and extending, the entire length thereof, a
the device admits of some mod- I resilient strip secured along'one edge to the bottom of the door, the free portion of said strip tending to spring normally away from the door vand adapted'to engage the upper face of the metal threshold plate when the door is losed, and a strip secured Vto the side-face of the door and projecting beyond the `bottom edge thereof and having an in- ,turned portion adapted to support the vtree edge portion of said resilient strip when the door is opened.
4. The combination With a door and threshold, of a metal plate secured on the threshold beneath the bottom of the door and extending the entire length thereof, a resilient strip secured along one edge to th bottom of the door, the free portion of said strip tending to spring normally away from the door and adapted to engage the upper face of the metal 'threshold plate when the door is closed, and a strip secured to the side face of the door and projecting beyond the bottom edge thereof and having an inturned portion adapted to support the free edge portion of said resilient strip when the door is opened, said inturned portion being also adapted tobear edgeWise against the edge of the metal threshold plate When the door is closed.
